How the night ran

How did Brianna and Ryan’s wedding night run?

Ceremony and reception at Glasshaus, on one booking. One DJ, from the ceremony sound to the dance floor. Pizza on a packed dance floor.

  1. The groom lifts the bride in the middle of the dance floor under a canopy of string lights and greenery, guests laughing and filming at their tables at Glasshaus, Blue Eye

    What they wanted

    They booked on 1 July 2025, 81 days before their wedding on Saturday 20 September. In the photographs, a canopy of string lights and greenery hangs over the dance floor, and tall windows run behind the tables.

  2. The bride, in a short white dress, laughs in the middle of a crowded dance floor beside a woman in lavender, a light bar glowing green at the back of the room at Glasshaus, Blue Eye

    How the night ran

    The DJ ran the ceremony sound on an Elevate ceremony system, then ran the reception as DJ and MC. Asked on the report for a moment of magic, the DJ named the moment the bride walked out. In the photographs, the couple dance on their own while guests watch from their tables.

  3. A guest feeds the bride a slice of pizza as the women around her scream with laughter, an open pizza box held up behind her at Glasshaus, Blue Eye

    How it turned out

    Later frames show the floor packed, and the bride in a short white dress dancing in the middle of it. One guest feeds her a slice of pizza while the women around her scream with laughter. The DJ’s report records five hours, with no overtime.
